  1. Carbon Monoxide Monitoring Presented by: Interscan Corporation

  2. CARBON MONOXIDE • SYNONYMS • Coal gas • Carbon oxide • Carbonic oxide • Exhaust gas • Flue gas • Monoxide

  3. CARBON MONOXIDE IS THE MOST COMMON TOXIC GAS As a product of combustion, it is ubiquitous CO is one of the few toxic gases that can be encountered at home or on the job Colorless and odorless, CO is a silent killer

  4. CO HEALTH EFFECTS At 200-300 ppm, can cause fatigue in healthy individuals, and chest pain in those with heart disease. At higher concentrations, can cause impaired vision and coordination; headaches; dizziness; confusion; nausea. Can cause flu-like symptoms (ca. 250 ppm) that clear up when in clean air. At 2000 ppm, can be rapidly fatal

  5. TOXICOLOGY Carbon monoxide is an asphyxiant Inhalation of CO causes tissue hypoxia by preventing the blood from carrying sufficient oxygen Carbon monoxide combines reversibly with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin The reduction in oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is proportional to the amount of carboxyhemoglobin formed

  6. Occupational Exposure Standards

  7. OSHA Standards (as of Feb, 2011) The OSHA PEL ( Permissible Exposure Limit, based on an 8-hour time-weighted average) is 50 ppm Special provision for maritime workers/longshoring [29 CFR 1918.94(a)(1)(i))] …employees shall be removed from the enclosed space if the CO concentration exceeds a ceiling of 100 ppm. Exception: The ceiling shall be 200 ppm instead of 100 ppm for Ro-Ro operations.

  8. ACGIH TLV®[Threshold Limit Value] (as of Feb, 2011) TLV-TWA (based on an 8-hour time-weighted average) is 25 ppm Biological Exposure Index (BEI®) is recommended for carbon monoxide ─ Based on percent carboxyhemoglobin saturation in blood, or end-expired CO concentration in alveolar air

  9. NIOSH REL[Recommended Exposure Limits] (as of Feb, 2011) TLV-TWA (based on an 8-hour time-weighted average) is 35 ppm Ceiling value of 200 ppm (should not be exceeded at any time)

  10. NIOSH IDLH[Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health] (as of Feb, 2011) 1200 ppm IDLH: The airborne concentration from which a worker could escape without injury or irreversible health effects, in the event of the failure of respiratory protection equipment. IDLH values are based on effects that might occur as a consequence of a 30-minute exposure. Regardless of the 30-minute basis, if equipment failure occurs, LEAVE THE AREA AT ONCE!!

  11. GRADE “D” BREATHING AIR Per ANSI /CGAG-7.1.1989 As it pertains to carbon monoxide… No more than 10 ppm

  12. Applications Engineering

  13. AT A MINIMUM, CONSIDER Portable/survey or fixed continuous monitoring requirement? Interfering gases present? Will unit be used/installed in electrically hazardous area? Is data logging needed?

  14. Some Carbon Monoxide Monitoring Products Offered By

  15. PORTABLE ANALYZER

  16. CONTINUOUS MONITORING SYSTEM SINGLE POINT APPLICATION

  17. CONTINUOUS MONITORING SYSTEM TWO POINT APPLICATION

  18. CONTINUOUS MONITORING SYSTEM MULTI-POINT (THREE OR MORE) APPLICATION

  19. For Survey Applications, We Recommend Our Nomad Data Logger 12-bit resolution Models available for 0-100mV, 0-2.5V and 4-20mA inputs Self-contained units also available for temperature, humidity and pH Sampling rate adjustable—1 second to 10 hours in 1 second intervals Storage capacity—16336 readings Excellent software included

  20. Visualize your measurement session with an auto-scaling time history graph

  21. Time history graph detail screen Zoomed in on particular portion of the curve

  22. Ability To View All Individual Data Points

  23. ARC-MAX® DATA ACQUISITION, ARCHIVING, AND REPORTING PACKAGE

  24. ARC-MAX® is designed to meet and exceed all toxic gas regulatory reporting requirements Protect your employees…AND your company!

  25. Only ARC-MAX® gives you Shift reports, supporting up to four shifts/day, and the shifts can overlap Alarm logs, updated as alarms occur Live and historic trending STEL and TWA tracking, continuously updated
